Asbestos paperwork comes before tear-off
Broward County's asbestos code requires a Statement of Responsibilities Regarding Asbestos before demolition or renovation work, and Deerfield Beach lists it as a requirement for re-roof permits. Your contractor should handle it, but it is a good sign if they mention it without being asked.
Vents and skylights need approvals too
Deerfield Beach asks for product approvals, either a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance, not just for the roof covering but for anything installed on the roof, such as attic vents and skylights. Ask what accessories a quote includes and whether each one is approved.
Rooftop equipment has its own form
Every roofing application in Deerfield Beach includes a rooftop mounted equipment affidavit required by Broward County's Board of Rules and Appeals. If you have an air-conditioning unit or other equipment on the roof, talk through how it will be handled during the re-roof.
Deerfield Beach roofing questions
What does a Deerfield Beach re-roof permit application include?
The city's checklist includes the Broward County uniform permit application, the uniform roofing application, product approvals, an asbestos statement, a rooftop equipment affidavit and, for higher-value homes, a hurricane mitigation affidavit. A recorded Notice of Commencement is also required for larger jobs.
Why is there an asbestos form for a roof?
Broward County's asbestos code treats a re-roof as renovation work, so a Statement of Responsibilities Regarding Asbestos is needed before work begins. It does not mean your roof contains asbestos.
